[Paraview] Transient point data analysis

[ramaya]

Hi David,
  The other possible solution is I can perform a linear translation of 
the y-coordinates of all the files t=1 to N. And then use the absolute 
location function. Do you know how can perform that linear translation 
in y-coordinates seamlessly?

thanks
